LARKIN, HOFFMAN, DALY & LINDGREN, LTD. Mr. Steven R. Sarkozy Thomas M. Scott, Esq. May 28, 1999 Page 15 . Adequacy of parking Through actual parking occupancy surveys on two busy Saturdays, Benshoof detennined that the south parking area (as defmed in the Benshoof report) will provide sufficient parking spaces (about 726 spaces) to meet the needs of the Cub Foods store and to accommodate existing users of the Har Mar Mall who park in this area. Also, Benshoof has determined that the overall number of parking spaces on the Har Mar property (about 2,209 spaces) will meet City Code requirements after completion of the Cub Foods store. . Additional "No Access Easement" Along Ryan Avenue Frontage Volunteered by Bradley Currently, there is no access to and from the Har Mar property and Ryan Avenue. The proposed Cub Foods project does not require or propose such access. Additionally, the Benshoof report concluded that no Cub customers from outside the immediate neighborhood will use Ryan Ave~ue or any other local streets to access the Cub Foods store. To address neighborhood concerns regarding the permanency of this condition, Bradley proposes to grant the City an access easement over the portion of the Har Mar Mall property that abuts Ryan Avenue. The access easement would prohibit ingress to and access from the Har Mar property and Ryan Avenue. The restriction would be recorded against the property and would be binding on future purchasers. A copy of a proposed "no access" quitclaim deed is attached to this letter as Exhibit G. The form of the instrument is similar to no-access documents the City of Bloomington tYPically requires from developers in similar situations. . Cart Corrals and Bollards to Discourage Shopping Cart Removal from Bar Mar Property The proposed Cub Foods site/landscape plan shows 14 cart corrals in the main parking area for shopping cart storage. Based on Cub Foods' experience, the number of proposed cart corrals is adequate to accommodate expected demand. In addition, Cub Foods proposes to add bollards in the middle of walkways to discourage customers from removing shopping carts from the Har Mar premises. Cub employees will patrol the parking lot to police shopping cart usage, as necessary to prevent shopping cart removal.
